Bulls Fall at Akron on Saturday
1/28/2023 7:37:00 PM | Women's Basketball
AKRON, Ohio – The University at Buffalo women's basketball team (8-9, 3-5 MAC) got behind early and struggled offensively as they failed to mount a comeback in a 69-47 loss at Akron on Saturday afternoon.
Three Bulls scored in double figures on the day led by freshman Hattie Ogden who recorded a career-high 15 points, including five threes. It is the first time a Bull has recorded five made threes in a game this season. Fifth year guard Jazmine Young scored 12 points and her backcourt mate Zakiyah Winfield recorded her 11th double-double of the season with 11 points and 10 rebounds to go with four assists.
It was a defensive battle in the early going as neither team scored in the opening two minutes of play before Emerita Mashaire and Re'Shawna Stone scored on back-to-back possessions, but Akron would take a 5-4 lead at the first media timeout. UB took the lead on a spot up three by Ogden at the top of the key and later Stone knocked down a pair from the charity stripe to give the Bulls a 9-8 lead at the end of the first.
After a slow start to the second quarter for both teams Young came away with a steal and scored in transition to put UB up by three but the Zips answered with a pair of threes to take a 17-12 lead at the media timeout. Winfield got a jumper in the lane to drop to end the UB scoring drought and pull the Bulls within four with two minutes to go but the Zips closed on a 5-0 run to take a 25-19 lead at the half.
Akron opened the third quarter on a 7-3 run to extend their lead to 10. Winfield got UB going as she knocked down a mid range jumper and then Young raced up court and got a fastbreak bucket plus the foul cut the Akron lead to 37-27 at the media timeout. Buffalo continued to battle as Ogden drilled a corner three and then Young spotted up in transition and drilled a triple of her own to pull UB within five at the 1:39 mark but the Zips scored on two straight possessions to take a 45-36 lead at the end of the third.
The Zips opened the fourth quarter on a 7-0 run before Stone scored from the baseline and Young followed with a mid-range jumper in traffic to limit the damage, but the Zips maintained a 54-40 lead at the 5:50 mark. The Zips extended their run to 11-0 out of the media timeout and that was more than enough to put the game out of reach.
Buffalo made just 17 field goals on the day, the second fewest total this season, while the Zips shot 50.9% from the floor, including 11 makes from behind the arc. The Bulls scored 13 points off Akron turnovers and recorded eight fastbreak points, but the Zips capitalized inside, outscoring UB 24-12 in the paint.
Up next, Buffalo will return to the state of Ohio on Wednesday, February 1 for a contest at Miami (OH). Tipoff from Millett Hall is set for 7pm.
